I would like to encourage all medical students, residents, fellows, and faculty who are interested in improving their knowledge and skills regarding medical education to attend the COE CTS seminar. Hearing presentations by experts in the field and practicing short teaching scenarios with my colleagues allowed me to become aware of fundamental concepts that guide the research of medical education. I believe this short introduction to the science of broad topics such as feedback and types of trainee attitudes will be helpful for my trajectory as a resident, neurologist, and scientist – while obtaining deep knowledge about these issues was not within the scope of the session, knowing that there is a large and expanding body of science analyzing these concepts and being aware of some key fundamental aspects of this field will reorient my thinking when preparing for teaching sessions, interacting with trainees, and working as a resident with supervising faculty.
